Concession Agreement

Under the Concession Agreement, the Ministry of Railways has

granted HMRDC a concession for 32 years during which the company would convert the MG line between Hassan and Mangalore into a BG line and thereafter undertake its operation and maintenance during the concession period. 

To enable construction of the new line, the existing assets including land, station buildings, formation, bridges etc. (assets forming part of the rail network and necessary for gauge conversion) have been leased to the company.

8

Construction of the line

Detailed estimate sanctioned by Rly Board in Dec 2002 forms the basis of the construction agreement.

The 183 Km long MG line from Hassan to Kankanadi has been converted to BG.

Four new crossing stations were planned of which three have been commissioned so far. Arebetta station is yet to be opened.

The cost of construction as per the Construction Agreement is ` 274.71 Cr. In addition, HMRDC has also paid for rail mounted vehicles to be used for inspection & maintenance of the line.

The completion cost of the project is presently being worked out. It is expected to be around `. 340 cr.

9

Operations & Maintenance of the lineThe Operations and Maintenance of the line from Commercial Operations Date (COD) i.e. 5thMay 2006 is being done by SWR under the terms of the O & M agreement.

100% inflation of distance is allowed for the Ghat section between SKLR-SBHR, the chargeable distance being 110Km i.e 238.45Km for the entire line. (Rate circular No. 32 of 2006)

Freight due to HMRDC from traffic carried on the line is calculated as per the inter zonal railway rules of apportionment.

O & M ( Fixed & Variable) costs payable by HMRDC are calculated on the basis of the formula prescribed in the O & M agreement.

Fixed costs covering cost of manpower, cost of consumables etc. are payable irrespective of the traffic moved.

Variable costs including fuel, cost of crew, loco and wagon usage etc. vary according to the tonnage carried on the line.

Apportioned freight minus the O&M costs constitutes HMRDC’s share of revenue.

10

Traffic Forecast

The Hassan Mangalore line is expected to carry up to six million tonnes of freight per annum that includes

Towards Mangalore Area:Export iron ore to Port from Chitradurga – Tumkur and Hospet –Bellary sectors

Iron ore for KIOCL pellet plant at Mangalore

Cement, Food grains and other general goods to Mangalore goods shed

From Mangalore Area:Coal

Fertilizer imports

Limestone, Iron Ore Pellet

Fertilizer from MCF, Mangalore.

Line Capacity

The maximum number of trains that can be run in a day is Line Capacity which is decided by the time required to complete the journey by the slowest moving train in a critical block section.

The maximum permissible speed for all trains in the section between SBHR-SKLR is 30 KMPH

The Critical Block Section of HMRDC Line is DOGL-SVGL in the ghat section of SKLR-SBHR section, with the distance 35.60 KM the running time for DOGL-SVGL section is 71 minutes (35.6/30*60)

All the down trains are required to stop and start at reception signal to check the brake power

There are two stations, each requires 3 mins i.e total 6 mins

Total time required for the journey is 77 min (71+6 min)

The total number of trains that can be run (Line capacity) =18.70 trains (1440/77)

Time required for maintenance works is provided to the extent of 1.7 train paths (130Min (77*70/100+77))

Balance paths remaining are 17 (18.70-1.70)

Total number of trains that can be run in a month 510 (17*30) i.e line capacity

Total number of passenger trains in a month that are running in the section is 85 i.e 1 daily train and 3 days a week [60+((6/7)*30=25)]=85

Total number of paths available for goods train/ MT/LE/CLE in a month 425 (510-85)

Total number of paths available for goods train/ MT/LE/CLE in a day 14

Efficiency factor is 80% of the capacity utilization i.e 340 trains (425*80/100) in a month

Looking to Future

36

SWOT Analysis :

Strengths :

The Only Railway Line passing through Western Ghats connecting the major port of Karnataka with Hinterland. Has got Line Capacity to transport 6 Million Tonnes of Traffic per annum. Stabilized Rail Link.Entire Loan of `. 90 Cr. availed from Nationalized Banks Completely Amortized within 3 years of CoD

Looking to Future

37

Weaknesses :

Dependence on a single Commodity (Iron-Ore/Export) which is the Cash Cow. Oligopolistic customers. Capacity and Operational constraints due to steep gradient ( 1 in 50) and more number of 8 degree Curves. •Multiple locos with AEBs used for hauling up Trains• Empty running of Locos and Rakes• Speed restrictions – 30 KMPH in Ghat Section.•Detention due to a variety of reasons. Outstanding sub-debt (`108 Cr) and deferred OH (` 58 Cr) along with interest, if any. The Cash Reserves of ` 186 Cr represent only DRF.

Looking to Future

38

Opportunities :

Steady Traffic with KIOCL expansion plans (Iron Ore Domestic)Iron-Ore for Export market may commence upon lifting the ban.Import of high grade non-coking Coal for proposed Steel Plants and Coal for Power Plants, which will be moved from NMPT through Hassan Mangalore Rail Line. Diversification into development of Property Time Shares (with the Land available) for heritage Tours and Trek to boost non-traditional income.Going for “Doubling” of the Line, avoiding Ghat Section (118 Kms as against 55Kms of Ghat Section) with minimum impact on Environment.

Looking to Future

39

Threats :

Higher Expenditure on Maintenance costs for retaining walls etc to

prevent landslides.Huge Capital Expenditure for strengthening of bridges to permit running of 25T Axle Load Trains.Dwindling traffic movements.Premature replacement of Assets due to denudation.
